Consolidating Above $1.08, NZ CPI In View

AUDNZD

AUD/NZD sits ~2.5% above year to date lows seen in early April, the cross has recovered above the 20-Day EMA and has held above $1.08 which had presented as key resistance before a break of the level on Friday.

  • Since printing cycle lows of -164bps in early April rate differentials, observed via 2 year swap rates, have narrowed and currently sit at -145bps.
  • Bulls immediate focus is on the 200-Day EMA ($1.0871), resistance was observed here yesterday. A break through here opens $1.0970, 76.4% Fibonacci retracement of the Feb-Apr bear leg, and $1.1088 the 2023 high.
  • Bears first target a break of the 20-Day EMA at $1.0766.
  • Q1 CPI from New Zealand which is on the wires early tomorrow presents as the next risk event. The Bloomberg Survey Median Estimate looks for a 6.9% Y/Y print maringally easing from 7.2% observed in Q4 2022.
